Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 514 - Fated And Two Trials

This was the question that even Lin Wu had, and he focused on the entire scene.

"I am looking for those that are fated with my master. Those who are and can pass the trials will become his disciples." The monkey beast revealed.

Hearing this, Lin Wu felt like face palming.

"I don't think I even told him to do all this. I never followed up with the orders after telling him to clean and maintain the shrine." Lin Wu said to himself.

That was also the reason why he was confused. Since he had not given them any specific orders after taking care of the shrine, he wondered if they had some other agenda than that.

But now it was confirmed that it was not so and that monkey beast had just started to think of the future on his own.

"Seems like he went from monkey brain to big wrinkle brain, huh… at least I'll have someone smarter under me now." Lin Wu felt a bit pleased.

The disciples though, had a completely different expression. They were instead excited.

"Did we… find it?" one of them said.

"Is this the place that senior brother Wang Xiong was talking about?" A female disciple said.

"Ah, so you all are sent by Wang Xiong." The monkey beast said.

Information about Wang Xiong was no secret among Lin Wu's servants and they knew of him and that he was a subordinate under Lin Wu as well. To them, it was just a matter of pride and they felt better than even a human was a subordinate of their master.

Plus, Lin Mu had already left instructions on what to do if Wang Xiong ever came back. If he came to the Tomb, it was inevitable that he would end up meeting some of the beasts. Thus to him, it was better to explain some of the plans to the servant beasts, and he had done so before he went to hibernate.

Hearing the name of their chief disciple from the mouth of the monkey beast and the familiarity, the Frozen Cloud sect disciples felt that this was truly the place where they had been striving to come, too.

"You know Senior brother Wang Xiong?" The Nascent soul realm disciple asked.

"Of course I do. Wang Xiong is also working under my master." The monkey beast replied.

"Working under him!?" The disciples were shocked.

Information like this was a huge mountain to them and could cause a lot of trouble if it got out. After all, being the chief disciple of a sect and then working under some other master was a blaring signal that the person was a traitor.

"Indeed. My master passed him the inheritance of his own master after Wang Xiong qualified the trials." The monkey beast spoke.

Now the disciples had confirmed for sure that this was where Wang Xiong had gained the new techniques and become so strong.

"So does this mean… others can become like that too?" The Nascent soul realm disciple asked, while the rest looked on in excitement.

"Of course. That is exactly why I am here." The monkey beast replied.

"YES! We succeeded!" The disciples said out loud.

"So how do we do that, senior?" The Nascent soul realm senior brother asked.

"Well, you have two choices for the trials. You can decide which one you want to attempt. One of them is the same as that Wang Xiong took while the other one is what I took." The monkey beast spoke.

"What are the differences Senior?" They questioned.

"Well, I can say this directly that the one I have taken is far inferior. The one that Wang Xiong took is of a top grade inheritance." The monkey beast answered.

Hearing this, the disciples felt like there were thunders flashing in their minds.

"WE'LL TAKE THE ONE THAT SENIOR WANG XIONG TOOK!" they all said in unison.

"Of course you can. As long as you pass the tests of the Sky Bright Daoist, you can proceed on to the main Tomb." The monkey beast said with a smile, but this time, it was mischievous.

"What?" The disciples were confused.

"Everyone will have to take the trials of the Sky Bright Daoist. Only those that can pass it can go further to take the same trials like that of Wang Xiong. If you can't even pass the trials of the Sky Bright Daoist, there is no chance you will pass the other's that are far more dangerous and difficult.

Losing your life would be a common possibility." The Monkey beast said.

~GULP~

Hearing this, the disciples couldn't help but swallow their saliva. They looked at each other before making up their minds.

"We shall do it! We'll take the trials." They stated.

"Alright, but before you take them, let me tell you this and warn you… these trials are not simple and may take you years to complete. Then there is the advantage of the first trial, which is of the Sky Bright Daoist… even if you fail them you will not die.

And failure is not permanent. You can keep on trying. There are no limits to the number of attempts." The Monkey beast expanded.

~phew~

All of the disciples couldn't help but take breaths of relief after hearing this. They had already heard that the things may not be simple from their chief disciple. They wanted to know more, but Wang Xiong was unwilling to tell them.

But what they didn't know was that Wang Xiong didn't tell them because he was unwilling, but rather because he himself didn't know how things would proceed. He knew that he himself had won due to luck and that the difficulty of the tomb was a mystery.

He was the first one there in many years and the tomb had just awakened. And from what he had heard from Lin Wu, there may be more changes coming.. He thus thought that it was better to leave it to fate for now.
